	Athletes - Justin Duchscherer

Justin Craig Duchscherer (born November 19, 1977 in Aberdeen, South Dakota) is a right-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who plays for the Oakland Athletics (since 2003). Previously, he played with the Texas Rangers (2001).

In a three-season career, Duchscherer has compiled a 9-8 record with 86 strikeouts and a 4.31 ERA in 127.1 innings pitched.

Drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 8th round of the 1996 amateur draft, Duchscherer was traded to the Rangers for catcher Doug Mirabelli in 2001. A good control pitcher, Duchscherer has a career 2.17 strikeout-to-walk ratio (85-to-39). His most productive season came in 2004, when he posted career-highs in wins (7), ERA (3.27), strikeouts (59) and innings (127.1). He also was among 24 players selected to compete for the United States in the 2004 Athens Games; however, since the Americans eventually failed to qualify, he did not actually play in Athens.

In 2005, Duchscherer was chosen as the Athletics sole representative at the All Star Game, but he did not play.
